There are the 3 Hard Chrome places I have been researching for my SS Vbob. Also for my RIA compact, but I may Hardhat or Black Chrome or even go 2 tone.

Metalife (in PA only one state over!)
Read they do take longer than what they say, but work has been good. Typical smaller family operation. I kind of like that! $155 to chrome Semiauto

APW Cogan
Great work more high volume in a big corporate setting. Heard very good things, and people highly reccomend them. They also do custom work. They are the second cheapest at $200

Metaloy
Supposedly the original? Most expensive but they have that great Matte look that I like on a SS pistol. I may pay the extra, but what I am tripping over is I can get 2 guns done at Metalife vs 1 @ Metaloy. I am not sure if paying more $ is worth it over the other two? It's about $300 to chrome a semiauto
